IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication is a refereed, quarterly journal published since 1957 by the Professional Communication Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Its readers are engineers, technical communicators, scientists, information designers, editors, linguists, translators, managers, business professionals and others from around the globe who work as scholars, educators, and/or practitioners. Readers share a common interest in effective communication in technical workplace and academic contexts. The journal’s research falls into three main categories: (1) the communication practices of technical professionals, such as engineers and scientists, (2) the practices of professional communicators who work in technical or business environments, and (3) research-based methods for teaching professional communication. Example articles include Jon A. Leydens’s “Novice and Insider Perspectives on Academic and Workplace Writing: Toward a Continuum of Rhetorical Awareness” and Jim Melton’s “Communication Metaphors-in-Use: Technical Communication and Offshore Systems Development.” More than 1,300 universities and 1,000 individuals from across the globe subscribe to the quarterly print Transactions. In addition, more than 47,000 PDF copies of articles from the Transactions were downloaded in 2007.
The editorial staff includes Jo Mackiewicz, editor-in-chief, and Joyce Rothschild, book review editor. Angela Fletcher and Emily Maffett, MTPC students, are the journal’s editorial assistants
